Standardize the dataset and print out summaries of the scaled data. How did the variables change? Create a categorical variable of the crime rate in the Boston dataset (from the scaled crime rate). Use the quantiles as the break points in the categorical variable. Drop the old crime rate variable from the dataset. Divide the dataset to train and test sets, so that 80% of the data belongs to the train set. (0-2 points)

Reload the Boston dataset and standardize the dataset (we did not do this in the Datacamp exercises, but you should scale the variables to get comparable distances). Calculate the distances between the observations. Run k-means algorithm on the dataset. Investigate what is the optimal number of clusters and run the algorithm again. Visualize the clusters (for example with the pairs() or ggpairs() functions, where the clusters are separated with colors) and interpret the results. (0-4 points)
# load MASS and Boston
library(MASS)

# look at the summary of the distances

Bonus: Perform k-means on the original Boston data with some reasonable number of clusters (> 2). Remember to standardize the dataset. Then perform LDA using the clusters as target classes. Include all the variables in the Boston data in the LDA model. Visualize the results with a biplot (include arrows representing the relationships of the original variables to the LDA solution). Interpret the results. Which variables are the most influencial linear separators for the clusters? (0-2 points to compensate any loss of points from the above exercises)
# Boston dataset is available
library(ggplot2)
# k-means clustering
km <-kmeans(Boston, centers = 3)
# plot the Boston dataset with clusters
pairs(Boston, col = km$cluster)
# MASS, ggplot2 and Boston dataset are available
set.seed(123)
# determine the number of clusters
k_max <- 10
# calculate the total within sum of squares
twcss <- sapply(1:k_max, function(k){kmeans(Boston, k)$tot.withinss})
# visualize the results
qplot(x = 1:k_max, y = twcss, geom = 'line')
# k-means clustering
km <-kmeans(Boston, centers = 2)
# plot the Boston dataset with clusters
pairs(Boston, col = km$cluster)
Super-Bonus: Run the code below for the (scaled) train data that you used to fit the LDA. The code creates a matrix product, which is a projection of the data points.
model_predictors <- dplyr::select(train, -crime)
# check the dimensions
dim(model_predictors)
## [1] 404 13
dim(lda.fit$scaling)
## [1] 13 3
# matrix multiplication
matrix_product <- as.matrix(model_predictors) %*% lda.fit$scaling
matrix_product <- as.data.frame(matrix_product)
Next, install and access the plotly package. Create a 3D plot (Cool!) of the columns of the matrix product by typing the code below.

Adjust the code: add argument color as a argument in the plot_ly() function. Set the color to be the crime classes of the train set. Draw another 3D plot where the color is defined by the clusters of the k-means. How do the plots differ? Are there any similarities?
